“We have wanted to stage a Titan Fighting Championship ‘Fight for the Troops’ event for years, and so we are pleased that the officials at Fort Riley have made their historic Marshall Army Airfield available for this first-ever night of fights dedicated to our nation’s soldiers,” TFC president Joe Kelly stated. “It is an honor to give back to our troops, and I speak for everyone who is involved with Titan when I say this is definitely our proudest moment yet.”

Santiago recently signed with Titan and scored a first-round knockout of Leonardo Pecanha at Titan Fighting 21 in March. That followed an unsuccessful return to the UFC, where he went 0-2 with losses to Brian Stann and Demian Maia. Santiago, a former World Victory Road/Sengoku champion, had earned a ticket back into the UFC following an 11-1 run from 2007 to 2010.

Silva, a fellow UFC vet, fought this past weekend and suffered a majority-decision loss to Michal Materla at KSW 19 in Poland. Prior to the defeat, Silva was on a 3-1 run that included a Super Cage Combat 4 submission victory over Kendall Grove earlier this year.
